Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev

SARP’s open letter to President Ilham Aliyev

Dear Mr. President,

We, on behalf of the founders of the recently founded South Azerbaijan Republican Party (ACP), greet you and the victorious Azerbaijani army, who created the history of victory in our latest history under your command, as well as the entire Azerbaijani people, who supported the achievement of this victory, with deep love and respect, and express our gratitude to the Azerbaijani martyrs, veterans, and their brave families.

Today, under your leadership, the independent Republic of Azerbaijan, the legal successor of the Republic founded in 1918, is the right voice of over 50 million Azerbaijani citizens, and the fact that our independent state has gained the status of a dynamically developing victorious state in the world is openly commemorated with pride by every Azerbaijani.

We, the people of Azerbaijan, feel the impact of these historical successes under your leadership and the impact of your political processes on the 40 million Azerbaijani more closely in South Azerbaijan. In this process of the return of our nation to become permanent in the 21st century, we openly declare that a new era has already begun in the political life of South Azerbaijan.

At the same time, we are declaring that our people consciously intend to support these processes. For this purpose, we, as a group of young people from the south inspired by the independent republic of Azerbaijan, founded the South Azerbaijan Republic Party.

Mr. President, Honourable Commander-in-Chief, as you have clearly stated, the policy of aggression, hostility, assimilation – Persification has been carried out by the ruling Persian regime against the Azerbaijani Turks living in the historical lands of Azerbaijan in the country called Iran, outside the borders of the Republic of Azerbaijan, for nearly two hundred years.

In the southern part of Azerbaijan occupied by the Iranian regime, every means is used to eliminate the national identity of the Azerbaijani citizens, systematic crimes are committed against our people on ethnic grounds, and our countrymen are subjected to repressions, arrests, exiles, and executions. Azerbaijani Turks are not allowed to be educated in their mother tongue, and even families are forced to speak Persian in their homes in connection with their daily lives. propaganda carried out by the regime, the Turkish national identity of Azerbaijan is openly humiliated and ridiculed.

With these deliberate humiliation and assimilation steps, our people are pushed to hate their national identity, homeland, and history. At the same time, in the so-called country Iran, ecocide is systematically committed by the Iranian regime in the areas where our people live compactly. As a result of the deliberate neglect of our homeland, systematic conditions are planned for the drying up of Lake Urmia, disposal of radioactive material waste in our homeland, and the ethnic engineering of Azerbaijan, which has violated the territorial integrity, is being carried out by Iranian regime at a rapid pace.

All underground and overground resources of Azerbaijan are being plundered and invested in the improvement and development of the provinces inhabited by the Persian-speaking population.
In addition, to create a conflict between other nations in the future, rapid demographic changes are being carried out in the territories of Azerbaijan in various ways. In one word, an ethnic and moral genocide is being carried out against the people of Azerbaijan in the so-called Iran.
Iran’s anti-Azerbaijan activities are not only directed against our citizens in the south of Azerbaijan but also against the independent Republic of Azerbaijan as well.

These insidious activities of so-called Iran began to manifest more clearly both during the 44-day Patriotic and victorious War and after the historical victory in which Azerbaijan restored justice. Iran’s anti-Azerbaijani policy and activities have already reached such a level that you sent a serious official message to Iran at a high level. With this, you have openly and officially emphasized the measures aimed at taking steps by the statehood of Azerbaijan, its independent policy, and destabilized implementation of some provocative activities against our national interests and national security.

Thus, Azerbaijan has become a state that has the power to conduct any process related to geopolitics and security in the region. We believe that from now on, any provocative step taken by the regime of so-called Iran against Azerbaijan will not be left unanswered. At the same time, the state of Azerbaijan will not turn a blind eye to the discrimination and cultural-ethnic genocide policy carried out by the chauvinist regime of Iran against South Azerbaijan.

We already have a strong leader, a strong state a strong army and legal rights according to United Nations international Law which gives us a reason to have a voice in the region for bringing stability and peace to the region.
